People assume because I am pregnant that I can’t do anything. People treat me as if I’m fragile and it annoys me really bad.
Or, that because I’m not large at 22 weeks I’m starving myself, when in fact my baby boy is at the 50th percentile for weight and all of his measurements were good.
What are some of you pet peeves when it comes to other people and your Pregnancy?
Have fun and vent a little. =)
I know I look young. I’m actually eighteen and in college.
Well Im overweight and people can tell that im pregnant. I hate it.
I also dislike the back pain and all the complications Ive had.
People always have something to say because I just don’t gain a lot. I hate strangers baby talking to my belly and touching it. I hate people who have never been pregnant or have kids telling me what to do.
People commenting on my weight and checking what I eat. “You’re getting bigger than the boss” comments, etc…
you’re pregnant? you look like you’re 13
i think my biggest pet peeve is my mother and husband ..they act like u said u kno that im impaired or something …but yea im also peeved bymyself i hate the feeling of that im pregnant i cant lose weight or im pregnant and i cant look for a new job cause who hires a 7 mth preggo person and blah blah ….
creamy white discharge
hahaha- I hate that nasty ****!!!!
When people gasp because i’m 20 years old that im having a baby. People these days think that if you are not 35 years old married to a rich surgeon and are a stay at home house wife that you should not be having kids.
I am married but still even if I wasn’t just because i’m not over 25 does not mean i’m going to be a “stupid” mom.
the stares my fiance got while out shopping, just because we were young. I own two properties and make more than enough money to support a child, and it was a decision we made together. they just assumed it was another tragic accident.
I hated that people though it was fine to just come up and rub my belly. And the “wow, you’re so big” got pretty old, too.
People saying “how are you feeling?” in a cutesy voice. I’m huge, and wish I were in bed!!!
I don’t like not being able to breath well right now, since I’m 8 months and my lungs are all smashed up in my ribs. I’m a teacher and I have to pause to catch my breath all the time in the middle of lessons!
I’m 32 weeks along. I am so sick and tired of people assuming that I’m not ask pregnant as I am. I am sick and tired of people assuming I’m lazy for following my doctor’s guidelines!
people keep telling me i should stop going to the gym lol. Whenever i go to my kickboxing class the girl next door shes the caretaker at kids club she always tell me i shouldnt be taking kickboxing and she always peek on the glass wall and just shake her head lol. I keep telling her that i make sure its a low impact and i already told my dr.
When i go to friends house they tell me i shouldnt drink diet soda bec of PKU and of course the neverending speech about me and my kickboxing class hehehe.
I just laugh at it and i say thank you for your concern. I dont get mad bec i know theyre just concern and if i get pissed i really dont get anything from it. So just enjoy your pregnancy and dont let others get into your nerves unless of course they tell you your fat and not pregnant lol cause i hate that hahah..
my grandmother will watch me eat something and tell me that im going to get high blood pressure.. that really pissed me off. when i go the the doc every two weeks now and my pressure is always fine.. Im so tempted to tell her to shut the hell up.. but i don’t lol.. Also i hate when people try to tell me that it could be twins and one could be hiding behind the other.. well thats what ultra sounds are for.. people always have lots to say they mean well but we dont want to here their bs
ok i will say it…woman who love their epidurals!!! its saddens me because they do not wish to feel the empowering moment of birth…my homebirth was the best experience ever!
and
When pregnant women stay ignorant of whats going on with them…thinking their dr knows everything..(they dont)
just a tip
newborn eyedrops are givin to every baby when born….because the mom may have gonnerhea…Well I know I DONT have that SO dont give MY baby the drops THANKS
there you go my RANT
Thanks
My pet peeves are when people tell me that I’m not big enough to be 23 wks pregnant and then give me a death stare because they think that I’m not eating enough, I hate it when people who know that I’m pregnant think that they can just touch my tummy at random, and when our friends, who know NOTHING about how to raise a child, say, “Just wait, you’ll be just like us.” I would really like to tell them to bite me! I love the hormones!
Thanks, I feel better!!! 
Good luck and congrats!
I hate people (mainly my mother-in-law) looking to see if my butt is getting bigger cause she heard it does if you’re having a girl. Last time i was pregnant at my house warming she insisted everyone look at my butt to see if the baby was girl or a boy! Rude! Rude! Rude! and very annoying!
my biggest is that i am 35 weeks and i look like i am about 6 months and people ask when i am due and i tell them they don’t believe me!
my other one is i am a nursing assistant so i do a lot of lifting and have done it for years and now no one will let me lift or when i go to do something they tell me to be careful everytime
Oh, I get irate with repetitive noises! I mean, I can handle my step daughter doing the same thing over and over again, but grown adults who click pens, rattle their ice, or just being irritating in general drives me nuts!
I’m also on the opposite end of the spectrum from you as for people thinking I can’t do anything. Nope, my family still thinks I should be hauling these massively heavy objects or changing the cat litter. I don’t mind doing things, but it bothers me that they seem to expect me to do more than they do.
Let’s see…I also get really irritated with shopping now. I like to go in, get what I need, and come back out. My boyfriend on the other hand is a slow shopper. I’ve officially forbidden us from shopping together unless it is absolutely necessary.
Yep, that’s pretty much it. Oh, wait…no everyone is expecting me to turn into some sort of hormonal, emotional, psycho b*tch just because I’m pregnant. That one bothers me a lot.
People keep asking me if I’m feeling crappy yet or when will I start feeling bad. I’m pregnant not sick!
Everyday this one woman at work asks me “how are you feeling today honey?” in this really patronizing voice. It drives me nuts! How many times do I have to say I feel great before they’ll believe me!
The opposite of yours – you’re so big!! Like, duh, do you think I don’t have mirrors? And, by the way, of course I’m big – I’m PREGNANT!
Seriously, why do people state the obvious like that? And another good one is the “great” advice you get from every stranger who comes across you – actually, that is worse after the baby is born (or it was for me).
Pregnancy and childbirth seem to be a license for some people to say anything they want to you. They should give pregnant women tape to carry around to put on people’s mouths when they say things that are annoying.
The most offensive thing that was said to me was when I let my co-workers know I was pregnant. One of them asked me if the baby was my husband’s. He was a real jerk.
I hated when this one girl would get on me constantly for what I was eating or drinking. I would love coffee in the morning and she would be like you dont need caffeine or shouldnt you have this instead. It would drive me insane. Plus she never even had kids
Well, me and my 2 best friends moved to North Carolina recently, and they wouldn’t let me help with anything because they didn’t want me to hurt myself or something. So, I had to sit around and do nothing.
Because I’m having triplets, and i’m so tiny to begin with, I’m starting to have a bigger belly, and so when I go to resturants and stuff, they are always like telling me what I should and shouldn’t eat! Omg, it’s sooo annoying! lol
And, then there’s the whole belly thing….everyone assumes I’m actually later in the pregnancy because I’m getting bigger, when in fact I’m almost done w/ the 1st trimester. lol So, they all seem surprised when I say I’m only blahblahblah weeks.
And, the fact that I’m single, having triplets, and not in school atm is getting me so annoyed! Everyone keeps saying I should’ve been married/in a stable relationship, and I should be in college and stuff. It’s mainly because I grew up in a very strict Christian family, and that’s their beliefs.
Oh, wow. I vented alot =P
